Han Dang, the veteran of the second dynasty, said depressedly after hearing this: "Big Bear, how could he take so much food and grass? How could he take in so many people? And he resettled disaster victims and refugees every year, and often went to other princes to capture a large number of people. These people must have a lot of food and money. Now even the generals under him have become bandits like him, and they always like to steal other people's people and other people's things."

After hearing this, Xu Xuan, a counselor of Sun Ce, smiled slightly, knowing that Big Bear had robbed the population for so many years, and his strength was unimaginable. This person was just ignorant, always liked to engage in evil ways, knew nothing about the scriptures, Zi and Shi Ji, and ignored traditional customs, laws, and court systems. "I heard that Lu Ning had two major hobbies in his life, one was the people and the other was the land. He looked down on others in his eyes."

Chief adviser, internal affairs expert, and great scholar Zhang Zhao laughed after hearing this. "Baojian, you said that Lu Ning has fewer hobbies. Lu Ning has two big hobbies in his life, but Lu Ning loves beauty even more, saying that his wives are all beautiful. In order to get the beauty, Lu Ning is willing to steal it with a risk, and he can start a war for the beauty. This shows that the beauty has a higher position in Lu Ning's heart, if we want to win enough time to develop

Gongjin and I agree with each other. We must send people to Jinyang to find Lu Ning to seek temporary peace. Otherwise, our army will be attacked by warships from the Yangtze River at any time, and there will be no peace in the area along the Yangtze River. Since our army cannot defeat the Big Bear Army on the water, shouldn’t we beware of the Big Bear Army’s attack every day? How to prevent it? In this way, our army is too passive and can only follow the Big Bear Army’s footsteps, without any effect, it just consumes a lot of food and grass.”

After hearing this, Zhang Hong shook his head, did he not ask for advice? When Gongjin stopped him, he insisted on offending Big Bear. Now he wants to ask others for forgiveness. Will Big Bear forgive? "I agree with Zibu's words. Now our army is limited in strength, weak in economic foundation, poorly equipped with weapons and equipment, and not as good as Big Bear's training. It is still important to be harmonious. In order to win time for development, we have to bow our heads to Big Bear, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."

After hearing the words of many civil and military officials, Sun Ce was extremely regretful. He was indeed too proud and complacent at the beginning, and his interests were dazzled. He ignored Gongjin's hard work and was arbitrary and stubborn, which caused the current dilemma. This was all caused by himself. Such bitter fruit can only be swallowed by himself, and he also had to make a decision to resolve the dilemma. He had to put down his airs, put down his pride, show goodwill to Daxiong, and show weakness.

Lu Meng's intelligence came, which also confirmed that Zhang Liao's army would not go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong. He was just a retaliatory strike. Now that Zhang Liao's army is descending along the river, it is estimated that it will retaliate against Qu'a and other Yangtze River coasts, especially the remaining warships are the focus of Zhang Liao's army's attack.

Zhou Yu thought about it, and if he didn't react, the Jiangdong naval army would be completely finished. He looked up at Sun Ce and said hesitantly: "Lord, Zhang Liao's army was descending the river. The next target is probably our army's Qua Wharf. There are hundreds of warships in our army. If we don't find a way to drag those warships ashore and stay away from the firepower of Zhang Liao warships, it will probably be difficult to withstand the destruction of Zhang Liao's army. If those warships are destroyed, then our naval army will be completely finished. We should find a way to save those warships."

After hearing this, Sun Ce was shocked. Yes, in order to retaliate against our army, the purpose of Zhang Liao's army was to make our naval army lose all its strength and prohibit our army from having any strength in the Yangtze River. Then our army will always develop naval army in the future. That warship is essential. Even if we dare not develop blatantly now, we must try our best to preserve our strength, especially warships are indispensable equipment. This time, Sun Ce did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered: "Zhu Huan, He Qi, you two will immediately arrive at Qu'a Wharf and find a way to drag all the warships in the wharf to ashore, stay away from the riverside, hide those warships, and prevent them from being destroyed by Zhang Liao's army."

After hearing this, Zhu Huan and He Qi immediately replied, "The Lord's order." After that, they turned around and left. Both of them rode on war horses and galloped towards Qu'a Wharf, without stopping for a moment.

After dealing with the emergency, Sun Ce looked up at everyone again, and said in a helpless and careless tone: "Let's talk about how to ease the relationship between Big Bear? What are the strategies to resolve the conflict? As long as we have more time to develop, I will definitely lead troops to kill Lu Ning's head and avenge the current revenge! Of course, we must also re-study our army's next development goals and targets of attack."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head. How can I reconcile with Lu Ning in such a situation? What if I don’t pay the price? Besides, no one knows what Lu Ning is thinking? He acts like a wild thing, and his things are often elusive. Moreover, this person is extremely revengeful. Will he forgive him without offending him this time? "Difficult, difficult, difficult! If you want to reconcile, you will probably have to bleed, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish! As for the future development direction and target of attack? Our army will implement the established plan, first take the three counties of Chaisang, Yuzhang and Luling, continue to recruit new soldiers, strengthen training, strive to improve the military quality of soldiers, and build a large number of defensive fortifications. Then if you have the opportunity to take Jingzhou down, then the lord will have the capital to fight for the world. As for internal affairs, Zibu and others are all experts in this field. The lord just let it go and hand it over to them."

After hearing this, Lu Fan laughed, looked at Sun Ce and said, "Lord, since Lu Ning loves beauties, then we will choose dozens of beauties from Jiangdong to send them to him, so as to get his understanding. At the same time, beauties can also make Lu Ning lose his fighting spirit and heroism. Of course, it is definitely not enough to just send beauties. A lot of gold and jewelry is inevitable, and it is definitely not obvious that we are sincere if we don't let blood."

After hearing this, Zhang Hong nodded, agreed to the process, and agreed to do so. "Lord, if you can reconcile with Big Bear, it is best to buy the weapons and equipment produced by him from there, especially warships, swords, guns, crossbows and other equipment that our army must own in the future. Only by purchasing excellent weapons and equipment can we fight against Big Bear's army, otherwise we will still be passively beaten in the future."

Sun Ce listened and agreed, and there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to win time for development, he had to bow to Big Bear, and he had to pay a heavy price, and he had to give up gold, jewelry and beauty. Sun Ce sighed and said, "Who should I send to Big Bear? If the candidate is not right, I guess I won't even see Big Bear's face, let alone reconcile with Big Bear."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao laughed, looked up at Zhou Yu, and then replied: "My lord, if you want to ease your relationship with Big Bear, the person you go there is very important. You must be able to speak to Big Bear, and you must meet Big Bear himself, otherwise you will be in vain. The best candidate is of course Gongjin, and there is no better candidate than Gongjin. With Gongjin and Big Bear's personal relationship, there will definitely be no problem to see Big Bear, but you just don't know Gongjin..."

Of course, it means that Zhou Yu and Da Xiong have an extraordinary relationship. Now that Zhou Yu has a gap with his lord, I don’t know if Zhou Yu is willing? Besides, what if Zhou Yu goes away and never returns? Zhou Yu’s ability is too strong. Once he follows Lu Ning, it will be like a fish entering the sea. When Lu Ning says it, it will be like a tiger adding wings. Of course, Sun Ce will have to make a decision on this critical personnel. You will decide what problems will happen in the future. Who dares to make decisions for you?

Zhou Yu was stunned after hearing this, how could this work? Lu Ning and I have a good relationship. I don’t understand Lu Ning’s idea? If we can’t mediate the relationship, wouldn’t we let the people in Jiangdong gossip? This is a thankless thing for me, or I’m not involved. “Lord, I don’t agree to go to Jinyang. How could Lu Ning be so fond of his personal expenses? I can meet Lu Ning, but I have no confidence in convincing him. Speaking of candidates, Ziheng, Jingwen, and Zhongxiang are all more suitable than me.”

Sun Ce was also worried that Zhou Yu would never return, so he would suffer a lot. Although he and Zhou Yu's righteous brothers, the relationship with Zhou Yu was very shattered when he sent troops to attack Ruxuwu Wharf this time, and he was not dissatisfied with him. But now if he wanted to ease the relationship with Big Bear, there was no one else except Zhou Yu. Others who went to Jinyang probably wouldn't even see Big Bear. Sun Ce was hesitant and it was difficult to make a decision. He hoped that Zhou Yu could go and return. Sun Ce looked up at Zhou Yu and said sincerely: "Gongjin, you must go to Big Bear this time. I hope Gongjin will not refuse. I believe you can convince Big Bear, so that I will have time to develop. This is what I need most at the moment."

After Zhou Yu knew that it would be useless to say anything more, so he had to say in embarrassment: "Since that's the case, I'll go and do my best to convince Lu Ning, but I can't guarantee that I can convince him."

Zhang Liao led a large army along the Yangtze River along the water, sending the people who wanted to leave Jiangdong and go to Lujiang to settle down the Yangtze River. This made the army advance very slowly and could only travel dozens of miles a day. Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, was it just a revenge anyway? How many defensive fortifications can be destroyed in Sun Ce's army along the Yangtze River, and how many warships can be destroyed. There are no compulsory indicators and tasks, and it is very easy to fight back to war.

Half a month later, Zhang Liao's army arrived at Qu'a Wharf. At this time, all the warships of Sun Ce's army in the wharf were transferred. Zhang Liao's army only launched a devastating blow to various fortifications and buildings on the wharf and burned the wharf to the end. Then he led the army to advance all the way, destroying all the wharfs, coastal buildings, houses and other things near Wujun without mercy. Finally, he led the army to slowly return to Ruxuwu Wharf.
